oil on aluminium composite off-cuts, each 10 x 14 cm

The works presented for Haydens are the result of time on residency in a small island community in the north island region - the Kwakwaka'wakw Territories - in British Columbia in Canada.

The light in the gallery is very still and even but because of their materiality (oil on aluminium) the appearance of the works in this exhibition vary with the light as a viewer moves through the space.

The Window Gallery is located at the Sointula Art Shed - an old work shed (with a fishing net mending loft) that is now an art space in a residential street in a small village in the north island region - the Kwakwaka'wakw Territories - in British Columbia, Canada. This work was developed while on residency during August 2024.

The video shows an instant photograph that has been filmed for the duration of its development, on the ground, in the location where the photograph was taken. The site in this instance was just to the left of the window gallery, in the garden that surrounds The Sointula Art Shed where I was working at that time.

Through the video's duration the layering of images presented are complicated by their materiality and incidence of that moment in time: the movement of wind and insects passing; the roar of a car passing and voices of others working nearby; and my own shifting weight as I sit behind the camera.
